Thuja 'Sugar & Spice'

Sugar & Spice Thuja provides fine-textured bright green foliage in a naturally narrow upright form. It adds year-round structure without taking up the width of many traditional screening evergreens, making it especially useful beside entryways, along property lines or in narrow foundation beds. Plant it in full sun to part shade and water regularly while the roots become established.
